I am interested in making the vegetarian bacon! We have a vegetarian potluck at the sweat lodge once a month and I am always trying to find something bearish to bring because I am a voracious carnivore. I will consume the veggies in equal amounts though too. Unfortunately I have recently gained...

Kids! Sorry I am no help to this thread either but ohmygoshhhhh how I love little kidlets!!

Stirring can take forever. I use a dedicated PP5 container and stainless steel spoon to mix with as well, and put up a soaping video on my phone while I am stirring so the time passes better.

Ooooooh! How lovely! Not sure if I will get time either. I will add my name to the list if I get one made. The AC is broken at work and working in the 95+ degree heat has been taxing at best. Later in shorthandedness and I am in day ten with no day off. I've been working and sleeping and that is...

Nope, me either. Give me my silicone for my hair.

Whyyyyyyyy does the best craft in the whole wide world got to attract ze pests? Mouses and ants? Why????? ☹

I am not sure if this is in any way what you are looking for, but I often pipe decorations on the tops of my soaps. In fact, it's my favorite thing to do. To keep it short and sweet, I just let my soap batter sit in piping bags until it's at the consistency I need it to be to pipe what I want...

Yes ma'am. Know the feeling. I had a co-worker at my last job and we realized we were two peas in a pod that had to buy two of almost every craft supply...one to use then and one because we were using the one we bought. If that makes sense? Because once you use it, you don't have it. And In...

I have had basically three weeks off work. Just a day here and there, after hard core manager training. Spent a LOT of that getting the outside of the house underway for it's selling thing. Long way to go there yet. Spent last night making some 0%SF coconut soap, then I made a huge mess with...

I only used the scents I got in my very first two M&P kits I got from Hobby Lobby. The kits worked to teach me the basics of the basics, let me make the first of a whole bunch of messes and got me hooked on soap making in general. The scents were 'okay' but after my first scent order from BB...

Been in the same boat here. Combining house, prepping to sell, catch up from financial thin points, training for a job promo, daughter getting married, ungrounded from some grand-babies! All good things, and I am so, so grateful, but I haven't carved out much me time beyond recuperation. Glad...

My box of colors came in from Nurture Soaps today! Che had fifteen teeth pulled yesterday so he isn't feeling so hot today. They didn't even put him to sleep yesterday for it and I was livid about it. Maybe I will go play in some soap and take a break from my chemistry books while he rests.

This week, I rebatched a huge soap fail and have it curing so that it can be grated up into laundry soap eventually. I also went on a long-awaited shopping spree! Money was so tight most of last year. I got a promotion to management at work and my handsome fellow got a job in his field...

hi teresa, Im not that great at math either! I divide the colors per total batch and the 1 tsp per ppo is a guideline really. So if I have a 2 pound batch of oils and I want to do 2 colors, I will put 1 tsp color in one bowl and 1 tsp color in the other. I also do not stick blend just in case...

I'm glad I'm not the only one this has happened to. Fiance and I have been freaking right the hell out over some mouse droppings that we have seen lately, and sure enough, the biggest concentration is by the soap racks. Now I just moved the racks to stand against the wall, just about a month...

This is pretty much what I do as well. I got a whole stainless steel cook set (stew-type pots and lids) for $30. So far I have only had need to use the smallest for my soaping. I do make a double boiler out of them though (they have handles so the little pot doesn't fall in the big pot, plus I...

I did a jewelry booth (inside) for a little while last year. Running that and having outside work was too much on my fibro so I let it go....for now. But the experience was invaluable. For inside booths....if at all possible, lighting, lighting, lighting! We were able to purchase our own...

Yes, camphor is definitely in the OOB smell in abundance. However, this has been my most popular fragrance among men and women. The soap rack stays empty and I get sick of soaping it, but probably 90 percent of my testers have taken it and asked for it again. Six now use nothing but, if I have...

put thick trace soap in a piping bag, ready with your tip and coupler. Let it set about 10-15 minutes and test pipe a squirt on some freezer paper . Let set another 5 minutes or so until you feel the soap is thick enough to pipe and hold its shape like frosting does, if needed. I cake decorated...

Get a boyfriend/husband who also has an expensive hobby. That way, when you order 600$ of supplies (I have) he doesn't bat an eyelash...
